(a) Corporate
Power. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries has the
corporate power to enter into (or, in the case of the Licences, be granted),

Authorisation; Enforceability; No Conflict. The New
Financing Agreements to which the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor is

party. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Borrower and this
Agreement constitutes, and the other New Financing Agreements when executed
and
delivered by the Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, will

enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. The entering
into of the New Financing Agreements and the compliance with the terms thereof

not result in violation of such party’s Charter, the Licences or any provision
contained in any law applicable to such party;

not conflict with or result in the breach of any provision of, or require any
consent under, or result in the imposition of any Lien under, any agreement
or
instrument to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party or

is bound; and
(3) will
not constitute a default or an event which, with the giving of notice, the
passage of time or the making of any determination (or any combination thereof),
would constitute a default under any such agreement or instrument.
(c) Governmental
Authorisations. No Authorisations from any Governmental
Authority are required for the due execution, delivery or performance by the
Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantors of any New Financing Agreement, or the
validity or enforceability thereof, or (except for the Licences and other

under the New Financing Agreements. Except for the security interests

a Project in such Country of Operation shall be affected.
Upon
the
issuance of such notice by EBRD, the right of the Borrower to further
Disbursements shall be suspended or cancelled as indicated in the
notice. The exercise by EBRD of the right of suspension shall not
preclude EBRD from exercising its right of cancellation as provided in this
Section 3.03, either for the same or another reason, and shall not limit any
other rights of EBRD under the New Financing Agreements.
(b) The
Borrower shall have the right at any time, on not less than 10 Business Days'
notice to EBRD, to cancel in whole or in part the then unutilised portion of
the
Commitment; provided that:
(1) the
Borrower shall pay to EBRD on the date of cancellation all accrued commitment
charges on the cancelled portion of the Commitment and all other amounts due
and
payable hereunder and a cancellation fee of 0.25% of the cancelled amount of
the
Commitment; and
(2) in
the case of a partial cancellation of the Commitment, such cancellation shall
be
in an amount of not less than €5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of
€1,000,000 and the Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of such
cancellation during each of the remaining periods set forth in Schedule
1.
Any
such
notice of cancellation shall be irrevocable and binding on the
Borrower. No portion of the Commitment which is cancelled by the
Borrower may be reinstated.
(c) Any
undisbursed amount of the Loan shall automatically be cancelled at the end
of
the Commitment Period.
|
Charges,
Commissions and Fees
|
21
The
commitment charge shall accrue from day to day and be calculated on the basis
of
the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant period and a 360-day year
and
shall be due and payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date.
(b) The
Borrower shall pay to EBRD a front-end commission of (i) 1.5% of the A Loan,
and
(ii) 1.5% of the B Loan. Such front-end commission on the A Loan
shall be due and payable not later than the first Disbursement or seven Business
Days after the date of this Agreement, whichever is earlier, and on the B Loan
shall be due and payable not later than the first Disbursement or seven Business
Days after the date EBRD receives a formal commitment from a Participant to
acquire a Participation, whichever is earlier .
(c) The
Borrower shall pay to EBRD during the term of this Agreement an annual loan
administration fee in the amount of €5,000 per annum. Such loan
administration fee shall be due and payable in advance, for the initial year,
not later than the first Disbursement or seven Business Days after the date
of
this Agreement, whichever is earlier and, for each subsequent year, on the
first
Quarterly Date following each anniversary of the date hereof. In the
event that a Participant hereafter acquires a Participation, the Borrower shall
pay to EBRD during the term of this Agreement an additional annual loan
administration fee for each such Participant in an amount per annum of €5,000
less any such loan administration fee paid in respect of that same Participant
under Section 3.04(d) of the Original Loan Agreement. Such additional
loan administration fee shall be due and payable in advance, for the initial
year, within 30 days after receipt by the Borrower of notice from EBRD that
such
Participant has acquired such Participation and, for each subsequent year,
on
the first Quarterly Date following each anniversary of the date on which such
Participant acquired such Participation.
(d) Subject
to Section 3.11(a), the charges, commissions and fees referred to in this
Section 3.04 are exclusive of any Tax which might be chargeable in connection
with such charges, commissions or fees. If any such Tax becomes
chargeable, the Borrower shall pay such Tax to EBRD at the same time that the
relevant charge, commission or fee becomes due and payable.

Interbank Rate for such Interest Period.
(b)
(1) The
Borrower may select an Interest Period for a Disbursement in the application

of Commitment to occur.
22
(3)
Each
Interest Period for a Disbursement shall start on the date of Disbursement

each Interest Determination Date, EBRD shall determine the interest rate
applicable during the relevant Interest Period and promptly give notice thereof
to the Borrower. Each determination by EBRD of the interest rate
applicable to any portion of the Loan shall be final, conclusive and binding
upon the Borrower unless shown by the Borrower to the satisfaction of EBRD
that
any such determination has involved manifest error.
|
Default

the Borrower fails to pay when due any amount payable by it under this
Agreement, the overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate equal to the sum
of:
(1) 2.0%
per annum;
(2) the
Margin; and
(3) the
interest rate per annum offered in the Euro-zone interbank market on the date
two Business Days prior to the first day of the relevant Default Interest Period
(or, at EBRD's option, on the first day of such Default Interest Period) for
a
deposit in the Loan Currency of an amount comparable to the overdue amount
for a
period equal to the relevant Default Interest Period or, if EBRD determines
that
deposits in the Loan Currency are not being offered in the Euro-zone interbank
market in such amounts or for such period, the cost to EBRD (expressed as a
rate
per annum) of funding the overdue amount from whatever sources it
selects.
(b) Default
interest shall:
(1) accrue
from day to day from the due date to the date of actual payment, after as well
as before judgement, if any;

calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a 360-day
year;
(3) be
compounded at the end of each Default Interest Period; and
(4) be
due and payable forthwith upon demand.

such
determination has involved manifest error.

Section
3.07.
|
Repayment
|
The
Borrower shall repay each
Disbursement on the last day of the Interest Period for such Disbursement (and
subject always to the provisions of Section 3.05(b)) and, provided that the
Borrower submits an application for Disbursement in accordance with the
provisions of Section 3.02(a), the Borrower may refinance any maturing
Disbursement with a Renewal Disbursement. Subject to the terms of
this Agreement, amounts repaid during the Commitment Period may be reborrowed
hereunder.
|
Prepayment
|
(a) The
Borrower shall have the right at any time, on not less than 10 Business Days'
prior notice to EBRD, to prepay all or any part of the principal amount of
the
Loan then outstanding; provided that:
(1) the
Borrower shall pay to EBRD at the same time all accrued interest and other
amounts payable on the principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid (including,
in
the case of any amount of the Loan prepaid other than on the last day of an
Interest Period, all amounts payable in accordance with Section 3.12(a)) and
all
other amounts due and payable hereunder; and
(2) in
the case of a partial prepayment, such prepayment shall be in an amount of
not
less than €5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of €1,000,000, shall be applied
pro rata between the A Loan and the B Loan in proportion to the respective
principal amounts thereof then outstanding.
Any
such
notice of prepayment by the Borrower shall be irrevocable and binding on the
Borrower and, upon delivery of such notice, the Borrower shall be obligated
to
prepay the Loan in accordance with the terms thereof. Subject to the
terms of this Agreement, amounts of the Loan prepaid by the Borrower under
this
Section 3.08(a) may be reborrowed.
(b) If
a Change of Control Triggering Event occurs, EBRD will have the right to require
the Borrower to prepay all or any part (equal to €50,000 and any integral
multiple of €1,000 in excess thereof) of the principal amount of the Loan then
outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable to the
date of repayment.
24
Within
30
days following any Change of Control Triggering Event, the Borrower will provide
notice to EBRD stating:
|
|
(1)
|
that
a Change of Control Triggering Event has occurred and that EBRD has
the
right to require the Borrower to prepay all or any of the principal
amount
of the Loan then outstanding in accordance with this Section 3.08(b)
plus
accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable to the date
of
repayment;
|
|
|
(2)
|
the
prepayment date, which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later
than 60
days from the date such notice is served (the “Change of Control Payment
Date”); and
|
|
|
(3)
|
the
circumstances and relevant facts regarding the Change of
Control.
|
If,
not
less than 10 days prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, EBRD shall have
given notice to the Borrower that it requires a prepayment and the corresponding
principal amount thereof, each in accordance with this Section 3.08(b) (a
“Change of Control Prepayment Notice”) , the Borrower shall pay to EBRD on the
Change of Control Payment Date such principal amount plus accrued interest
and
other amounts payable in connection therewith as notified by EBRD to the
Borrower. No amounts repaid pursuant to this Section 3.08(b) may be
reborrowed and all undisbursed amounts of the Commitment shall forthwith
automatically be cancelled on and from the date of the Change of Control
Prepayment Notice.
(c) The
provisions of Sections 6.06(b) and (c) shall govern any prepayment required
to
be made hereunder following an Asset Disposition (as defined in the 2005
Indenture).
(d) If
the Borrower shall (whether voluntarily or involuntarily) make any prepayment,
repurchase or early redemption of any Long-term Debt borrowed or raised after
the date of this Agreement (referred to in this Section 3.08(d) as “New
Long-term Debt”) or make any repayment of any New Long-term Debt pursuant to any
provision of any agreement or note which provides directly or indirectly for
acceleration of repayment in time or amount, then in any such case, if EBRD
so
requires by notice to the Borrower, there shall be a contemporaneous
cancellation of a proportionate amount thereto of the Commitment. To
the extent that such proportionate amount exceeds the Available Amount, the
Borrower shall prepay such principal amount then outstanding of the Loan as
is
equal to such excess. No portion of the Commitment which is cancelled
pursuant to this Section 3.08(d) may be reinstated and no amounts repaid
pursuant to this Section 3.08(d) may be reborrowed.
|
Payments
|
(a) All
payments of principal, interest, charges, commissions, fees, expenses and any
other amounts due to EBRD under this Agreement shall be made, without set-off
or
counterclaim, in the Loan Currency (or, in the case of costs and expenses of
EBRD, in the currency in which such costs and expenses were incurred), for
value
on the due date, to such account as EBRD may from time to time designate by
notice to the Borrower.
25
(b) The
sums to be disbursed by EBRD to the Borrower hereunder shall be payable in
the
Loan Currency for value, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and EBRD,
on
the value date requested by the Borrower in its Disbursement application and
to
such correspondent account as the Borrower may designate in its Disbursement
application (with instructions to transfer such sums, at the Borrower's risk
and
expense, to such account as the Borrower may designate in its Disbursement
application).
(d) EBRD
shall have the right, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off any
amount owed by EBRD to the Borrower, whether or not matured, against any amount
then due and payable by the Borrower under any New Financing Agreement, whether
or not EBRD has demanded payment by the Borrower of such amount and regardless
of the currency or place of payment of either such amount. EBRD shall
have the right, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to deduct from the
proceeds of any Disbursement any charges, commissions, fees, expenses and other
amounts then due and payable by the Borrower to EBRD under any New Financing
Agreement.
|
Section
3.10.
|
Insufficient
Payments
|
(a) If
EBRD at any time receives less than the full amount then due and payable to
it
under this Agreement, EBRD shall have the right to allocate and apply the amount
received in any way or manner and for such purpose or purposes under this
Agreement as EBRD in its sole discretion determines, notwithstanding any
instruction that the Borrower may give to the contrary.

3.11.

Taxes
|
(a) The
Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid, or reimburse EBRD on demand for, all

any
Governmental Authority of any jurisdiction out of which or through which
payments hereunder are made, on or in connection with the payment of any amounts
due to EBRD under this Agreement, whether in respect of the A Loan or the B
Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 3.11(a), together with
Sections 3.04(d) and 8.07(a), shall not apply with respect to any Tax assessed
on the Lender by reference to the net income received or receivable (but not
any
sum deemed to be received or receivable) by the Lender.
26
(b) All
payments of principal, interest and other amounts due to EBRD under this
Agreement, whether in respect of the A Loan or the B Loan, shall be made free
and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any
Taxes; provided, however, that, in the event that the Borrower is prevented
by
operation of law or otherwise from making such payments free and clear of such
deductions or withholdings, the principal, interest or other amount (as the
case
may be) due under this Agreement shall be increased to such amount as may be
necessary to remit to EBRD the full amount it would have received had such
payment been made without such deductions or withholdings.
|
Unwinding
Costs
|
(a) If,
for any reason (including, without limitation, an acceleration pursuant to
Section 7.02), any portion of the Loan is repaid or prepaid, or becomes due
and
payable on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period, the Borrower
shall pay to EBRD on demand the amount, if any, by which:
(1) the
interest which would have accrued on such portion of the Loan from the date
on
which such portion of the Loan has become due and payable to the last day of
the
then current Interest Period at a rate equal to the Interbank Rate for such
Interest Period;
exceeds:
(2) the
interest which EBRD would be able to obtain if it were to place an amount equal
to such portion of the Loan on deposit with a leading bank in the Euro-zone
interbank market for the period commencing on the date on which such portion
of
the Loan has become due and payable and ending on the last day of the then
current Interest Period.
(b) If
any overdue amount is paid on a date other than the last day of a Default
Interest Period, the Borrower shall pay to EBRD on demand the amount, if any,
by
which:
(1) the
interest which would have accrued on such overdue amount from the date of
receipt of such overdue amount to the last day of the then current Default
Interest Period at a rate equal to the rate specified in Section 3.06(a)(3)
for
such Default Interest Period;
exceeds:
(2) the
interest which EBRD would be able to obtain if it were to place an amount equal
to such overdue amount on deposit with a leading bank in the Euro-zone interbank
market for the period commencing on the Business Day immediately following
the
date of receipt of such overdue amount and ending on the last day of the then
current Default Interest Period.
(c) The
Borrower shall forthwith upon notice from EBRD reimburse EBRD for any costs,
expenses and losses incurred by EBRD or any Participant, and not otherwise
recovered by EBRD under Sections 3.12(a) and (b), as a result of the occurrence
of an Event of Default, prepayment of any portion of the Loan on a date other
than the last day of an Interest Period, failure by the Borrower to pay any
amount when due hereunder, failure by the Borrower to borrow in accordance
with
a Disbursement application submitted pursuant to Section 3.02 or failure by
the
Borrower to make any prepayment in accordance with a notice of prepayment
delivered pursuant to Section 3.08.
27
(d) A
certificate of EBRD as to any amount payable under this Section 3.12 shall
be
final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower unless shown by the Borrower
to
the satisfaction of EBRD to contain manifest error.

(2) any
compliance with any request from, or requirement of, any central bank or other
monetary or other authority;
which,
subsequent to the date of this Agreement:

modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement
against assets held by, or deposits with or for the account of, or loans by,
EBRD or such Participant;
(B) imposes
a cost on EBRD or such Participant as a result of it having made the Loan or
acquired its Participation, as the case may be, or reduces the rate of return
on
the overall capital of EBRD or such Participant which it would otherwise have
been able to achieve;
(C) changes
the basis of Tax on payments received by EBRD or such Participant in respect
of
the Loan or its Participation, as the case may be, other than by a change in
taxation of the overall net income of EBRD or such Participant; or

on EBRD or such Participant any other condition regarding the making or
maintaining of the Loan or the acquisition or maintaining of its Participation,
as the case may be.
(b) EBRD
shall furnish to the Borrower with any such demand a certificate of EBRD or
the
relevant Participant certifying:
(1) that
such net incremental costs have been incurred;
28
(2) the
circumstances giving rise to such net incremental costs;
(3) that,
in the opinion of EBRD or such Participant, it has exercised reasonable efforts
to minimise or eliminate such net incremental costs; and
(4) the
amount of such net incremental costs.
The
certificate of EBRD or any Participant as to the amount of such net incremental
costs shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower unless shown by
the
Borrower to the satisfaction of EBRD to contain manifest error.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything in Section 3.08, the Borrower shall have the right, on not less than
30
days' notice to EBRD (which notice shall be irrevocable and binding on the
Borrower), to prepay on any Interest Payment Date relating thereto, any
Disbursement constituting a portion of the Loan on which EBRD informs the
Borrower that such net incremental costs are then being charged, provided that
the Borrower shall pay to EBRD at the same time all accrued interest and other
amounts (including, any such net incremental costs) payable on that portion
of
the principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid and all other amounts due
hereunder.
|
Illegality
|
Notwithstanding
anything in this
Agreement, if it is or becomes unlawful in any jurisdiction for EBRD to make,
maintain or fund the Loan or for any Participant to maintain or fund its
Participation, then:
(1) upon
request by EBRD, the Borrower shall, on the next Interest Payment Date on which
each relevant Disbursement falls due for repayment or such earlier date as
EBRD
may specify, prepay that portion of the principal amount of the Loan which
EBRD
notifies to the Borrower as being affected by such change, together with all
accrued interest and other amounts payable thereon; and
(2) upon
notice from EBRD, any portion of the Loan which EBRD notifies to the Borrower
as
being affected by such change and which has not theretofore been disbursed
shall
be cancelled immediately.

terminated in accordance with the terms hereof or, if later, until all moneys
payable hereunder have been fully paid in accordance with the provisions hereof;
provided that the indemnities and warranties of the Borrower and the provisions
of Section 8.03, Section 8.08, Section 8.09 and Section 8.10 shall survive
repayment of the Loan and termination of this Agreement.

Section
8.02.
|
Entire
Agreement; Amendment and
Waiver
|
(a) This
Agreement and the documents referred to herein constitute the entire obligation
of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall
supersede any prior expressions of intent or understandings with respect to
this
transaction. Any amendment to, waiver by EBRD of any of the terms or
conditions of, or consent given by EBRD under, this Agreement (including, this
Section 8.02) shall be in writing, signed by EBRD and, in the case of an
amendment, by the Borrower. The parties to this Agreement may by
agreement rescind or vary this Agreement without the consent of any person
that
is not a party to this Agreement. In the event that EBRD waives a
condition to any Disbursement, the Borrower shall, by receiving the proceeds
of
such Disbursement, be deemed to have agreed to all of the terms and conditions
of such waiver.
45
(b) In
the event that the Borrower repays or refinances the 2005 Notes prior to their
scheduled maturity date, in light of the Borrower’s policy to align the
covenants of its financing facilities to the extent commercially practicable,
it
is acknowledged that the Borrower may request EBRD to consider reviewing certain
covenants in Articles V and VI of this Agreement which are aligned to the 2005
Indenture with a view, so far as is appropriate in EBRD’s absolute discretion
and in the light of any circumstances at the time, to aligning such covenants
to
those of the 2007 Indenture. EBRD agrees to consider any such request
on the basis that this Section 8.02(b) does not constitute any commitment on
the
part of EBRD to amend any terms of this Agreement.
|
Section
8.03.

notice, application or other
communication to be given or made under this Agreement to EBRD or to the
Borrower shall be in writing. Except as otherwise provided in this

to
furnish to EBRD from time to time under Section 5.14(a); provided, however,
that:
(1) if
the relevant quarterly Financial Statements should be in respect of the last

the audited Financial Statements for the relevant Financial Year;
and
(2) if

the
Borrower after the end of the period covered by the relevant Financial
Statements, then such material adverse change shall also be taken into account

Section
8.06.
|
Rights,
Remedies and Waivers
|
(a) The
rights and remedies of EBRD in relation to any misrepresentations or breach
of
warranty on the part of the Borrower shall not be prejudiced by any
investigation by or on behalf of EBRD into the affairs of the Borrower, by
the
execution or the performance of this Agreement or by any other act or thing
which may be done by or on behalf of EBRD in connection with this Agreement
and
which might, apart from this Section, prejudice such rights or
remedies.
(b) No
course of dealing or waiver by EBRD in connection with any condition of
Disbursement under this Agreement shall impair any right, power or remedy of
EBRD with respect to any other condition of Disbursement or be construed to
be a
waiver thereof.
(c) No
action of EBRD in respect of any Disbursement shall affect or impair any right,
power or remedy of EBRD in respect of any other Disbursement. Without
limiting the foregoing, the right of EBRD to require compliance with any
condition under this Agreement which may be waived by EBRD in respect of any
Disbursement is, unless otherwise notified to the Borrower by EBRD, expressly
preserved for the purposes of any subsequent Xxxxxxxxxxxx.
00
(x) No
course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any
right, power or remedy accruing to EBRD upon any default under this Agreement
or
any other agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed
to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein. No single or
partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy shall preclude any other
or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or
remedy. No action of EBRD in respect of any such default, or
acquiescence by it therein, shall affect or impair any right, power or remedy
of
EBRD in respect of any other default.
(e) The
rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and the other New Financing
Agreements are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies,
whether provided by applicable law or otherwise.
|
Section
8.07.
|
Indemnification
|
(a) Subject
to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower assumes full liability for,
and agrees to and shall indemnify and hold harmless EBRD and its officers,
directors, employees, agents and servants against and from, any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (compensatory, punitive or otherwise),
penalties, claims, actions, Taxes, suits, costs and expenses (including,
reasonable legal counsel's fees and expenses and costs of investigation) of
whatsoever kind and nature, including, without prejudice to the generality
of
the foregoing, those arising in contract or tort
(including, negligence) or by strict liability or otherwise, which
are imposed on, incurred by or asserted against EBRD or any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents or servants (whether or not also indemnified by
any
other person under any other document) and which in any way relate to or arise
out of, whether directly or indirectly:
(1) any
of the transactions contemplated by any New Financing Agreement or the
execution, delivery or performance thereof;
(2) the
operation or maintenance of the facilities of any member of the Group or the
ownership, control or possession thereof by any member of the Group;
or
(3) the
exercise by EBRD of any of its rights and remedies under any of the New
Financing Agreements;
provided
that EBRD shall not have any right to be indemnified hereunder for its own
gross
negligence or wilful misconduct.
(b) The
Borrower acknowledges that EBRD is entering into this Agreement, and has acted,
solely as a lender, and not as an advisor, to the Borrower. The
Borrower represents and warrants that, in entering into the New Financing
Agreements, it has engaged, and relied upon advice given to it by, its own
legal, financial and other professional advisors and it has not relied on and
will not hereafter rely on any advice given to it by EBRD.

Section
8.08.
|
Governing
Law
|
This
Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with English law.
|
Section
8.09.
|
Arbitration
and Jurisdiction
|
(a) Any
dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement,
or
the breach, termination or invalidity hereof, shall be settled by arbitration
in
accordance with the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules as at present in
force. There shall be one arbitrator and the appointing authority
shall be LCIA. The seat and place of arbitration shall be London,
England and the English language shall be used throughout the arbitral
proceedings. The parties hereby waive any rights under the
Arbitration Xxx 0000 or otherwise to appeal any arbitration award to, or to
seek
determination of a preliminary point of law by, the courts of
England. The arbitral tribunal shall not be authorised to take or
provide, and the Borrower agrees that it shall not seek from any judicial
authority, any interim measures of protection or pre-award relief against EBRD,
any provisions of the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules notwithstanding. The
arbitral tribunal shall have authority to consider and include in any
proceeding, decision or award any further dispute properly brought before it
by
EBRD (but no other party) insofar as such dispute arises out of any New
Financing Agreement, but, subject to the foregoing, no other parties or other
disputes shall be included in, or consolidated with, the arbitral
proceedings. In any arbitral proceeding, the certificate of EBRD as
to any amount due to EBRD under any New Financing Agreement shall be prima
facie evidence of such amount unless the findings in such certificate
involve manifest error.
(b) Notwithstanding
Section 8.09(a), this Agreement and the other New Financing Agreements, and
any
rights of EBRD arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other New
Financing Agreement, may, at the option of EBRD, be enforced by EBRD in the
courts of Bermuda or England or in any other courts having
jurisdiction. For the benefit of EBRD, the Borrower hereby
irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England
with respect to any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating
to
this Agreement or any other New Financing Agreement, or the breach, termination
or invalidity hereof or thereof. The Borrower hereby irrevocably
designates, appoints and empowers CME Development Corp. at its registered office
(being, on the date hereof, at Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, 00 Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx XX0X 0XX,
Xxxxxxx) to act as its authorised agent to receive service of process and any
other legal summons in England for purposes of any legal action or proceeding
brought by EBRD in respect of any New Financing Agreement. The
Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process or any other
legal summons out of such courts by mailing copies thereof by registered airmail
postage prepaid to its address specified herein. The Borrower
covenants and agrees that, so long as it has any obligations under this
Agreement, it shall maintain a duly appointed agent to receive service of
process and any other legal summons in England for purposes of any legal action
or proceeding brought by EBRD in respect of any New Financing Agreement and
shall keep EBRD advised of the identity and location of such
agent. Nothing herein shall affect the right of EBRD to commence
legal actions or proceedings against the Borrower in any manner authorised
by
the laws of any relevant jurisdiction. The commencement by EBRD of
legal actions or proceedings in one or more jurisdictions shall not preclude
EBRD from commencing legal actions or proceedings in any other jurisdiction,
whether concurrently or not. The Borrower irrevocably waives any
objection it may now or hereafter have on any grounds whatsoever to the laying
of venue of any legal action or proceeding and any claim it may now or hereafter
have that any such legal action or proceeding has been brought in an
inconvenient forum.
49
(c) The
Borrower agrees to the provisions of this Section 8.09 solely because the
counterparty to this Agreement as at the date hereof is EBRD.
|
Section
8.10.
|
Privileges
and Immunities of EBRD
|
Nothing
in this Agreement shall be
construed as a waiver, renunciation or other modification of any immunities,
privileges or exemptions of EBRD accorded under the Agreement Establishing the
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, international convention
or
any applicable law.
|
Section
8.11.
|
Waiver
of Sovereign Immunity
|
The
Borrower represents and warrants
that this Agreement and the incurring by the Borrower of the Loan are commercial
rather than public or governmental acts and that the Borrower is not entitled
to
claim immunity from legal proceedings with respect to itself or any of its
assets on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise under any law or in any
jurisdiction where an action may be brought for the enforcement of any of the
obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement. To the
extent that the Borrower or any of its assets has or hereafter may acquire
any
right to immunity from set-off, legal proceedings, attachment prior to
judgement, other attachment or execution of judgement on the grounds of
sovereignty or otherwise, the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives such rights
to
immunity in respect of its obligations arising under or relating to this
Agreement.
|
Section
8.12.
|
Successors
and Assigns; Third Party
Rights
|
(a) This
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors
and
assigns of the parties hereto, except that the Borrower may not assign or
otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of EBRD.
(b) EBRD
may sell, transfer, assign, novate or otherwise dispose of all or part of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement and the other New Financing
Agreements (including, by granting of Participations or otherwise).
(c) Except
as provided in Section 8.12(a) or 8.12(b), none of the terms of this Agreement
are intended to be enforceable by any third party.
50
|
Section
8.13.
|
Disclosure
|
EBRD
may disclose such documents,
information and records regarding the Borrower and this transaction (including,
copies of any New Financing Agreements and Operational Documents) as EBRD deems
appropriate in connection with any dispute involving the Borrower or any other
party to a New Financing Agreement, for the purpose of preserving or enforcing
any of EBRD's rights under any New Financing Agreement or collecting any amount
owing to EBRD or in connection with any Participation or any other proposed
sale, transfer, assignment, novation or other disposal contemplated by Section
8.12; provided, however, that (save for such disclosure made at any time when
an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the recipient to whom any
such
information is disclosed provides a confidentiality undertaking in respect
thereof.
|
Section
8.14.
|
Counterparts
|
This
Agreement may be executed in
several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
